Line 1: {{work}} [[File:nightbreed_poster.jpg\|frame\|link=~~http~~https://~~www~~web.archive.org/web/20120622124919/http://ralphmcquarrie.com/gallery_1/films/night_breed/index.html]] {{quote\| '''Boone:''' Then it's true.~~<br />~~ '''Peloquin:''' [[All Myths Are True\|Everything is true.]] God's an astronaut. Oz is over the rainbow, and Midian is where the monsters live. }} Line 10: [[Waking Up At the Morgue\|Then he leaves the morgue]]. With a music score by [[Danny Elfman]] very reminiscent of ''[[Batman (~~Film~~film)\|Batman]]'', ''Nightbreed'' is a gorgeous, disgusting movie with a captivating mythical mood. The titular Nightbreed aren't quite monsters, and the humans aren't exactly saints either. ~~----~~ ~~'''This film contains examples of:'''~~ {{tropelist}} * [[Adaptation Expansion]]: The novel is short and rather laconic, not too heavy on descriptions and such. The movie expands not only the plots, but also gives us lot of details about the world and the creatures that dwell in Midian. * [[Canada, Eh?]]: Not so much, actually. It takes place in Edmonton and points north, but beyond mentioning that fact, the setting has no effect on the story and nothing stereotypically Canadian is used or even mentioned. Line 26 ⟶ 24: * [[Hidden Elf Village]]: Midian. * [[Ho Yay]]: Peloquin's... hunger for Boone carries a metric ton of [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]. * [[Humans Are ~~Bastards~~the Real Monsters]]: What with having made the Nightbreed near extinct. * [[I Just Want to Be Special]]: A few of humans in the film want to become Nightbreed, some to have their guilt absolved, some because they envy the Nightbreed's power. * [[I'm a Humanitarian]]: Many of the Midianites. Discouraged since it tends to draw unwanted attention, though. {{quote\| '''Kinski:''' If we eat him we break the law.~~<br />~~ '''Peloquin:''' Oh ''fuck'' the law! I want meat! }} * [[Intercontinuity Crossover]]: The comics, with ''[[Hellraiser]]''. Line 35 ⟶ 33: * [[Masquerade]]: Why they live in Midian. * [[Monster Mash]]: The veritable freak show of Nightbreed. * [[Our Vampires Are Different]]~~-- All~~—All of the Nighbreed are vampiric to some extent. They crave blood and flesh and the sunlight hurts them. But the variety of their appearances and individual traits is vast. Hell, there is even an crescent moon-faced vampire. Actually, Aaron Boone is the closest to "your average vampire", in his Nightbreed form. * [[Scenery Porn]]: Especially the abandoned graveyard, which is gorgeously mysterious. Then it's more like [[Scenery Porn]] for [[Nightmare Fetishist]], with amazingly detailed, imaginative and yet extremely scary and unpleasant Midian. * [[Serial Killer]]: {{spoiler\|Dr. Decker.}} Line 42 ⟶ 40: ** Later inverted, in that {{spoiler\|as a Nighbreed he peels off all of his skin ''but'' his face}}. * [[Van Helsing Hate Crimes]]: Humanity has hunted the tribes of the moon, the Nightbreed, to near extinction for ''millennia.'' {{quote\| '''Rachel:''' You call us monsters, but when you dream, it's of flying and changing, and living without death. You envy us. And what you envy...~~<br />~~ '''Lori:''' ...we destroy. }} * [[Viral Transformation]]: After Peloquin bites Boone and he's gunned down, it's this that turns him into a Nightbreed. * [[Waking Up At the Morgue]] * [[Weakened Byby the Light]]: Some Nightbreed burn in sunlight. {{reflist}} Line 53 ⟶ 51: [[Category:Nightbreed]] [[Category:Film]] [[Category:Films Based on Novels]] [[Category:Films With Recuts]] [[Category:Cult Classic]]
